EU ministers meeting with Fidan ‘positive’

Cyprus has evaluated as positive the unofficial EU foreign affairs council meeting with Turkey’s participation, the government spokesman said on Friday.

Speaking to CyBC, Konstantinos Letymbiotis said Nicosia was satisfied by the results of the meeting, and for the position maintained by most countries.

He added that Nicosia was also satisfied with some of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s references, which distanced themselves from the hardline rhetoric used by Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar.
